Tanner bought x hot dogs and y hamburgers at a baseball game. He spent a total of $10. The equation below describes the relationship between the number of hot dogs and the number of hamburgers purchased.
3x + 4y = 10

The ordered pair (2,1) is a solution of the equation. What does the solution (2,1) represent?


- Hamburgers cost twice as much as hot dogs.

- Tanner bought 2 hot dogs and 1 hamburger.

- Hot dogs cost $2 and hamburgers cost $1.

- Tanner spent $2 on hot dogs and $1 on hamburgers.

Answer 1

3x + 4y = 10....where x is the number of hotdogs and y is the number of hamburgers...

so with the solution (2,1)......this means 2 hot dogs were sold and 4 hamburgers were sold....Tanner bought 2 hot dogs and 1 hamburger
